It occurs to me that the proper implementation of the above Proximity Hate mechanics would fix classic Bard charm-swarm kiting:

Quote:
It's when a bard charms a mob and sends it against a pack of its friends. The pack of friends quickly burns the mob down, but the bard breaks charm (boots of the mosquito work well for that) before the mob dies, charms another to send back at the "swarm" and dots the first pet down for full xps and then repeats with the next pet and so on.

This is only possible when the charmed mob is hated more for being in melee range.
